Hi. If the interviewer tells you, you're x the candidate they're looking for 'cause they want someone who's more experienced, yet you've sent in your resume during the application process before the interview (clearly they knew what you're capable of and what you're x able to deliver), are they tryna avoid telling you that you basically were called for interview just to fulfill their headcounts (though they actually disregard work experience or lack of work-related experience is merely an excuse to reject your application)?????????? I've heard more than once that I needed more work experience for a rejection, got so frustrated 'cause it felt more like they were only wasting my time to make it appear as if they had enough candidates for a job vacancy. I mean, if that's really the case, please, for goodness' sake, don't make face-to-face interviews, a phone interview goes a long way and saves up travelling expenses and time for other potential interviews.πŸ˜‘πŸ‘ΏπŸ˜Ύ

It takes more than just a resume to know what you're capable of. You can pepper up your resume to appeal to the company but in reality, your skills might not match up to the words you put in your resume. Relying on just a piece of paper to assess if a candidate is suitable for the role is plain irresponsible for anyone.

An interview is a test of your character, to judge if you truly are worthy of what you wrote in your resume. I've met and personally known a few people who purposely put in details that they have no experience on in their resume and fail spectacularly during an interview. Coincidentally because of this person's failure, I managed to get the job.

If you feel that you cannot commit to an interview, why didn't you request for a preliminary phone interview when they contact you?

Also you're making too many assumptions in your statements.

I thought we're not supposed to change the mode of interview? Would the HR get mad or refuse to proceed if I did? A friend (with better results and achievements) got rejected by a big firm for he'd turned down its internship offer. [feel more like the HR are kinda hard to deal with unless you're the Type of candidate they want]. I believe I wrote everything I had (with certificates and testimonials) and did (with recommendation letters) in my resume. I even didn't write much about my self-achievements (which were the main factors I was called I reckon), still, all that I got was "we needed someone with more experience".
